About the Walk For Liberty Participants
 | Will Buchanan is an individual whose purpose in life is to work toward gaining more freedom for people in society. He thinks a key step to doing this is to educate as many people as possible about the concepts of liberty. Will grew up in Indiana, went to school at Duke University in North Carolina, and then got a job as a computer programmer at Donovan Data Systems, based in New York City. He eventually began telecommuting from home, living in both Miami and Boston, while continuing to work for the same company. Will and Brooke lived in Hawaii for a year before starting on the Walk For Liberty. They plan to reside in New Hampshire at the conclusion of the walk. |
 | Brooke was born in Idaho, but grew up in Hawaii. She attended Brigham Young University - Hawaii, which is located right in her home town. Brooke has done extensive traveling around the world, including visiting such places as Scotland, Germany, Japan, and Guatemala. Brooke worked for a time in New York City with Sprout, through which she met Will's brother John, who then introduced her to Will. She also graduated with a Master's Degree from Boston College. During her program there, she worked at Perkins School for the Blind. She most recently worked as a resource teacher for visually impaired students in Hawaii before starting on the Walk For Liberty. |
 | John's crazy job history varies from cooking at Pizza Hut to gutting fish on the rough Bering Sea in 15 to 20 foot waves to teaching English in Japan where he got laid-off (the Japanese government basically put his employer out of business). Currently he has fulfilled his goal as a self-employed person. He owns and operates the website, HowToTeachEnglishOnline.com for individuals (with or without English teaching experience) who want to learn how to start their own online English school by using Skype or other IM programs. John taught English online to foreign students for over a year this way. |
 | Yuka was born and raised in Osaka, Japan where she studied cooking. As a result, she furthered her experiences in France for about two years as a chef. Years later she met John while he was working in Japan. Since this is her first time to America, she is finding her unique experiences of traveling slowly through the states a rewarding one. She will see more of America than 99% of all Japanese and more than the vast majority of Americans as well! She likes the new challenges of cooking mostly vegetarian and vegan meals in the RV for everyone on the Walk For Liberty. |
